Civil Project Engineer

Gold Coast / Brisbane | Tier 3 Civil Contractor | Permanent Opportunity An opportunity has arisen for a motivated Civil Project Engineer to join a growing Tier 3 Civil Contractor with a proven reputation for delivering specialist steel and HDPE pipeline solutions across gas, sewer and water infrastructure, alongside a diverse portfolio of civil infrastructure projects.

Having recently secured two new subcontract packages across the Gold Coast and Brisbane, the business is looking to appoint a Project Engineer to support the successful delivery of these projects and contribute to its continued growth across South East Queensland.

Reporting directly to the Project Manager on site, you will take ownership of the day-to-day Project Engineering function, working closely with site teams to ensure projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to programme. Given the hands-on nature of the business, the role will also incorporate some surveying duties, offering exposure to a broader range of site-based engineering responsibilities.

The Opportunity

- Join a well-established Tier 3 Contractor with a strong reputation across pipeline and civil infrastructure.

- Work across two newly awarded subcontract packages between Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

- Take ownership of day-to-day Project Engineering responsibilities.

- Gain exposure to both engineering and surveying duties.

- Work closely with an experienced Project Manager and site delivery team.

- Enjoy a high degree of autonomy and responsibility from day one.

- Secure a long-term permanent position with genuine opportunities for career progression.





About You To be considered for this opportunity, you will ideally demonstrate:

- A Degree in Civil Engineering or equivalent.

- A minimum of 3 years' post-graduate experience within the Australian civil construction industry.

- Previous experience working for a Tier 2 / Tier 3 Civil Contractor or specialist subcontractor.

- A proven background delivering self-performed civil construction works.

- Exposure to pipeline construction, ideally steel and/or HDPE pipelines across water, sewer or gas infrastructure.

- An understanding of the day-to-day Project Engineering function, including quality assurance, programming, subcontractor coordination and cost control.

- Some exposure to surveying or a willingness to develop your surveying capabilities.

- A proactive attitude, robust communication skills and the ability to work autonomously.

Why Join?

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious Project Engineer looking to take the next step in their career.

Unlike larger Tier 1 environments, this business offers its Engineers genuine ownership of projects, direct exposure to senior management and the opportunity to get involved across all aspects of project delivery.
